Lyrics

O holy nightThe stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of our dear Saviour's birthLong lay the world in sin and error piningTill He appeared and the soul felt its worthA thrill of hope the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious mornFall on your kneesOh, hear the angel voicesO night divineOh, the night when Christ was bornO night divineOh, nightOh night divine

Truly He taught us to love one anotherHis law is love and His gospel is peaceChains he shall break, for the slave is our brotherAnd in His name all oppression shall ceaseSweet hymns of joy in grateful raise weWith all within hearts we praise His holy name
